After reading a few reviews I was a bit worried about what to expect, but it was nothing that I experienced. Staff were great, breakfast was awesome, and property was beautiful. Felt like a boutique hotel but with a very cool theme. Beach access is great and wonderful for watching sunsets. Pools are also great and both can get a little crowded but never too much. We had 0 issues with safety either. Walkable to the town and far enough for quiet nights. 10/10 experience. We never got our welcome drink I guess cause we checked in in the evening but breakfast was pretty good and solid. Didn’t have all inclusive so kind of felt like you couldn’t get anything at the hotel past breakfast and that could be a little more clear but never had WiFi issues either. A beautiful hotel and experience, would recommend for sure. If only doing all inclusive on a night or two, the BBQ night and Mexican night looked the best and had music. Would recommend for the hotel to get golf carts as not everyone wants to drive the bigger Polaris. Bike riding on sand is not easy.

Had High expectations for HM Villas Palapas Del Mar. my husband and I were supposed to stay 7 days. By the 2nd day I’ve had enough. I had never experience such bad, racist service. We will be completely ignored because we are not Caucasian. We definitely think, the staff assumed because of our color we had no money to tip. We had already paid for the full stay, but at that point we didn’t care go spent extra money where we could be treated w dignity and respect. Even in our check in, did not get offered upgrades or the Platinum all inclusive. We had to find out later we couldn’t get some items because we were not Platinum. If you want to leave the comfort of your home to get treated like this. Think twice.

When I first arrived I didn’t have cash for the taxi and the front desk gentleman kindly let me borrow cash until I was able to go to an ATM. So very kind. The place itself was SUPER clean and in a great part of the island. Quiet yet walkable to the town and on a big part of the beach.

Impeccable

L'endroit est tout simplement des plus reposant et calme. Un peu plus éloigné du centre-ville de Holbox donc procurant une quiétude assurée de même que de très bons lits de plage en quantité suffisante bien que l'hôtel ne semblait pas à pleine capacité. Nous avons également pris deux dîners ainsi qu'un buffet du soir et la nourriture était bonne. Beaucoup de personnel sur place et un entretien constant impeccable. Je recommande cet hôtel assurément et je n'hésiterais pas à y retourner.

Antonio and his staff were wonderful. Very supportive and helpful. An easy walk from downtown, on a glorious white sandy beach. Very quiet and safe, isolated relative to big events. Not for the party hard crowd. No cars, only dune buggy/jeep cross type vehicles. Food was excellent and varied. Don't miss BBQ night

This is a beautiful and clean property! You could go barefoot and the sand was amazing! The lobby was peaceful. Lots of places to lounge and be with nature, read a book or have conversations. The ocean was fantastic, they offer cocktail and food service on the beach. The food was fresh and delicious, lots of variety daily.

The regular people working at the hotel were great. The front desk “Manager” lied to me repeatedly over the whole week saying that refunding our extra adult room charge of $750 US dollars was still being processed through Expedia. As soon as we left the property they denying to refund the extra adult fee even though we prepaid for the hotel months ago and told them twice last month that the extra person would not be there. WHAT A SCAM. We’ll definitely stay away from HM hotels in the future.

We loved our stay here. The property is in a great location if you are looking to have a quiet relaxing stay on the island. It is walkable to town and many restaurants but not in the loud mix. The vibe is beachy bohemian. It is not a fancy place but very nice and relaxing. no need for fancy shoes, everything Is sand on the island. We visited other hotels while there and would return to this one or Aldea Kuka which is a bit more expensive. We did the "all inclusive " which isn't everything all the time but found that everything we enjoyed was included. We had lunch daily on the beach and it was delicious fresh guacamole and sea bass ceviche, tequila drinks, beer, Pina coladas all included. Breakfast buffet was good, they did have made to order omelettes and such if you are not a fan of buffet style eating like myself. Fresh fruits, juices, ect... Beto was our server on the beach and was awesome, kind friendly fast service. He anticipated what we would ask for and be ready to bring it. Dinners are mostly buffet style themed nights. But they didi offer made to order options. We went out to eat at different places some nights, and would recommend doing that even with all inclusive having breakfast and lunch included saved us plenty of money. Every meal we had on the island was great, seriously! The room was comfortable and we had a little private pool which we enjoyed. A little towel stingy, had to ask for towels but they would bring them right away. Highly recommend, we will b

This was simply a very poor experience. The property looked nice on the outside, but the rooms were full of mosquitoes and in the evening we got cockroaches. The pools connected to the rooms where dirty and the outdated buffet makes it so far away from what you see from similar properties. My son got a small stativ schock from a bedside lamp. The lamp was just poorly fixed with electrical tape, when i talked with the receptionist she only said, “ok, I’ll have someone to take a look at it” For a very full Holbox HM where almost the only one with still availability, it’s easy to understand.

An Amazing Stay - Highly Recommended! We absolutely loved everything about our stay at this hotel! The service was exceptional—every staff member we interacted with was kind and attentive, making us feel so welcome. The food was incredible, with a variety of delicious options that exceeded our expectations. The hotel was spotless, and it’s clear they take cleanliness seriously, which we really appreciated. On top of that, the location is perfect—just a short walk to the beach, which made our vacation even more relaxing and enjoyable. We truly have no complaints. This was one of the best experiences we’ve had, and we can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fantastic place to stay!
